Māori archaeology hui NZAA, 2019

Tue 27th Aug 3pm to Wed 28th Aug 3pm

Tēnā ra koutou e ngā kaihura Māori, koutou e tiaki ana i ō tātou wāhi tupuna. Piki mai, kake mai ki runga i te kaupapa o te mahi huakanga nei.

Following last year’s useful Auckland hui of Indigenous delegates before the combined NZ & Australian Archaeological Assoc.’s conference, a similar hui for kaitiaki Māori interested and involved in archaeology was held before this year’s NZAA conference on Rakiura (Stewart Is.). Providing an opportunity for discussions about the work of the newly convened Māori Advisory Committee for NZAA, for sharing ideas of Māori participation and priorities in archaeology, and for whanaungatanga towards a stronger network of Māori interested and involved in archaeology. It also allowed for kōrero about iwi archaeological issues at the southern end of the country in particular.

The hui is convened by the NZAA Māori Advisory Group and hosted by Awarua Rūnanga.

Field Trip – Exploring Paterson Inlet

The field trip travelled from Oban’s main wharf by boat to visit to Millers Beach to explore the Norwegian Ross Sea whalers winter base used for repairing vessels. Then continued on to Ulva Island, one of New Zealand’s earliest reserves where attendees heard stories of early European settlers, conservation history, and enjoyed the results of modern conservation efforts. Other significant landmarks and sites were be pointed out from the vessel during travel. Attendees were joined by local tangata whenua who shared their perspectives and traditional stories about the area, and along the way heard about the beginning and end of timber milling on the island and other historical anecdotes.
